[OpenSpending] New Documentation for OpenSpending + Spending data Manual

Thu Jun 28 14:21:08 UTC 2012

Hi All,

We've been asked quite a few times recently how to format data for
OpenSpending. Just a quick note to say that we have revamped a lot of the
help documentation.

Some guidance on data-cleansing, including common mistakes, and notes on
'what too much cleansing?' is can be found here:

http://openspending.org/help/data-cleansing.html

More guides including detailed walkthroughs in re-formatting sample data,
common tips and tricks for formatting financial data and in-depth guidance
on how to build your own site such as Where Does My Money Go? will be
launched in the coming weeks with the release of the Cameroon Budget site.

Hope this is helpful,

Lucy
